What’s Inside?

The global explosion of people living with dementia is igniting the rapid growth of Dementia Friendly Community initiatives from small villages to large urban cities. They represent a collective commitment to embrace the challenges faced by those living with dementia, to stand beside those affected, and to create environments where everyone, regardless of their cognitive abilities, can continue to live fulfilling lives.
